After working for many years as a goldsmith for jewellery
designers and running her own studio Christine studied at School of
Jewellery in Birmingham where she received an MA in 2007 with
distinction.
Her current studio work includes both, jewellery and larger
scale vessel objects, focussed on the use of enamel. Her work has
been exhibited nationally and internationally.
My approach to teaching is to impart and share my knowledge of
technical skills and the particularity of enamel to inspire
students to experiment and explore the material developing a
personal and unique application of the technique.
What inspires your own work?
A colourful piece of rubbish - shadow lines - cloud formations -
ripped down billboards. The images and emotions of everyday
impressions arise a complex and multifaceted 'visual sound'. My
hands, my mind, the material I use are in a constant dialogue to
transform these impressions into a piece of art.
